Re: The Inbox: Kernel-dtl.1683.mcz

For what it's worth, now the installation of the GIT Browser is working
while before installing the change set, it just hung on
downloading/installing Squot.

I also managed to clone a project with the Git Browser.

That's all I have time for now, I could do some more tests tonight.
Anything in peculiar to test?

Kind regards,
